CONS

Ninja IG301A Foodi Air Fryer
Ninja DT251 Foodi Smart XL Air Fry Oven
Yes

Big, heavy, and needs lots of space to store away. Pricey for a grill marker but remember it can do more than just grill.

Yes

The outside gets real hot, just be careful not to place anything on top of the oven, it might melt, bad insulation. Cleaning the rear inside corners of this Ninja Foodi is a bit hard due to the design of the heating elements. However, you can use dawn spray which makes cleaning easy. Racks and Trays big for the kitchen sink. Racks and Trays are very big for the dishwasher. Air Fryer Basket TOO flimsy and has buckled after one use. Sheet Pan coating is TOO cheap. The coating has peeled off after one use.
